Hi,
I have come up with an idea on how to make an Indoor Enclosure, however please can someone advise if the materials I want to use will work.
My house is not very big, but I have a space that is next to a wall which creates a corner. So the thought process is to build an enclosure that will go around the corner, thereby reducing the space used in the room but still making it spacious enough for Baby to have fun.
I want to use Posts to create the frame, and masonite wood for the walls. However on the inside to make it waterproof, I want to line the whole enclosure with vynil. As masonite is obviously not a very water proof wood. It is however a cheaper wood, so will at the end of the day cost me less to make the enclosure. The front part of the enclosure will have glass inserted into the masonite and sealed with silicone. And all the joinings will also be sealed with silicone.
I have attached two drawings to give you an idea of what I am talking about.
The measurements should be as follows:
Length 1.3m = 4.26Ft
Width 0.61m = 2.00Ft
Height 0.75m = 2.46Ft
Will this work or must I use plywood?
